Hey all, I'll be in Ottawa this weekend (May 15-16). Just wondering for a recommendation for a quick climb or two that I can get in on Sunday before heading back to Montreal. So, preferably, heading east. Close enough that it doesn't become a full-day thing. Sport or trad, it's all good.
Thanx all.

For a quick fix I would reccomend Down Under in Luskville, it is about 30-45mins from downtown with a 5-10min approach. The routes are all sport from 10- to 13+. Should be plenty to keep you entertained for a few hours.
Directions (if you don't have them) are:
- Take Hwy 148 west from Gatineau (Hull) towards Luskville
- Turn right at the firestation in Luskville (there are signs for Luskville falls).
- Drive to very end of dirt road and park.
- Down under is the west facing overhanging cliff in front of you.
- Follow the trail and bear left at the first fork, the rest should be obvious.
Have fun!

look on www.drtopo.com (i think) for the topo.
Its steep and pumpy but nice. Bring bug repellent if you go in the evening.
